“No disrespect,” Embiid told reporters before immediately disrespecting Drummond at Saturday’s shootaround. “But he can’t shoot. I’ve just got to worry about the defensive coverages that we have as a team.”

Embiid’s dig on Drummond has history going back to their Oct. 23 matchup that saw Embiid drop 30 points and nine rebounds in a 76ers win.

“Defensively, he doesn’t play any defense,” Embiid said of Drummond. “When we started the game, he was being aggressive and he was talking, too. … So I was like ‘You want to do that? I’m going to kick your [butt] then.’ So that’s what I did.”

While some of Embiid’s antics come off as playful and good-natured, other times he’s straight-up clowning dudes. It seems just a matter of time before one of these grown men/basketball professionals gets pushed over the edge.

And he had some choice critique of Embiid’s game he shared with Fox Sports’ Johnny Kane.

In response to Embiid, Drummond told me, "I mean you can't really have a conversation with a man who can't play a back-to-back… I've been playing for six years and I've missed maybe 4-5 games. So when he can play a whole season without taking a rest, he can come talk to me."
